That is exactly what my son does. He blames other people for things all the time and when they aren't around. He lied to the counselor yesterday. His uncle on his father died from a gun shot wound and my son told the counselor it was because there was a robber in a store that was going to shot my son and his uncle blocked the shot but my sons father told me that his uncle got into trouble with the law and was running from police in another state and the police shot him. It scares me that he would start lying to the counselor. He lies about everything from not having a cookie or brushing his teeth to stories like his uncle's death or sickness.
